Well, I hadn't anticipated SNOW! I thought of it being rainy and sunny with midges (someone has recommended smidge, which he says has "transformed the highlands".
I have it in mind my companion may not complete this
She has done a lot of training and is not someone with natural grit, if you know what I mean.... so I'll keep fingers crossed and hope I'm proven wrong.
I did 17.5 miles today in 6 hours but it is very flat here.... the first 14 miles were fine, but the last 3 and a half dragged. Most days are between 12 and 14 miles. but I have a 19 and a 16 so have to do some long days.
Misty the older cocker was a bit tired but Tilly, her one year old daughter..... could do it again!
Bathed with Epsom salts and feel surprisingly good. I have ordered gel insoles and the balls of my feet were sore for the last mile but no blisters, which is good. My knees held up surprisingly well!
Anymore tips will be gratefully received! xxxxx
